About me

I have lived in Japan for 37 years and currently live with my husband and 5 cats. My two children are living and working in the States. I have been a quilter for over 20 years but I am semi-retired and teach English occasionally. I love the Bible and Jesus and try to serve as I can to His glory

Quilting profile

I'm a self-taught quilter who for the past 20 years has progressed through trial and error mostly using Japanese books. I belong to a small group of quilters and we yearly make a bazaar quilt but on my own I dabble in hand piecing and strip piecing and hand quilting. Since joining the blogging world I've enjoyed Wonky piecing and am trying to get a handle on machine quilting using a domestic machine.

A cat towel

I'm not getting anything done in the way of my February goals! I don't know why I should be so busy all the time. No kids at home. I don't have to go off to work everyday. Tetsu isn't particularly demanding. What am I doing? I don't watch much TV or sit around. (If I were sitting around I'd be getting more patchwork or quilting done!) Oh well, another day has gone by and I haven't sewn anything yet.

I did want to show the cute little towel that Furui-san gave me last week (I forgot to post it). This is a fairly well-known artist in Japan, Makoto Muramatsu, and I think he does only cats. For some reason, I see a lot of his illustrations on towels on handkerchiefs and things. Mrs. Furui isn't particularly a cat lover so when someone gave this to her she immediately thought of me! I love it.

This towel would please me too.I know this, I´m always running and busy, but I don´t get this ready I want to get completely.This Winter I´m kniting on a scarf, but Luna always wanted to help me with the wool. So I hope the Winter is ending soon.
